“It’s time for the world to read this”: Simon Dorante-Day shares last letter to the Queen
<p dir="ltr">Simon Dorante-Day, the Queensland man who claims he is the secret son of King Charles III and Camilla, has shared the final piece of correspondence he sent to Queen Elizabeth II.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 56-year-old took to social media on Australia’s National Day of Mourning with a full version of the letter he sent to the late monarch last November.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In it, he explains that he wrote to the Queen after approaching Dr Jeanette Young, Queensland’s Governor General, about his case.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I take the liberty of approaching you via the Governor’s Office however, given the position with which my family and I find ourselves, we feel this action is justified,” he writes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">He then details medical procedures he claims were performed on him as a child, including changing his eye colour from blue to brown when he was eight and filing two of his teeth at age 15.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“These actions I believe were undertaken to conceal my true identity,” he continues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Furthermore, over the years of residing with the Day family, my adopted grandparents Winifred and Earnest Bowlden often spoke about the time they worked for the Royal household.</p>

<p dir="ltr">“Then on my last visit to the United Kingdom in 1998, my adopted grandmother Winifred told me herself, that my birth parents were your son Charles and his wife Camilla.”</p>

<p dir="ltr">After detailing his claims, Dorante-Day appeals for help from the Queen with his case.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It would be naive of me to think you are not aware of my claims. Nor that you have not been following events to date,” he writes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Subsequently, you will all be aware of the actions I have recently commenced and the level of attention this has already received.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I am writing on behalf of my family and I to ask for your assistance in coming forward and resolving this issue and stopping this global assault.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“May God give you the strength to come forward.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Speaking to <em><a href="https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/man-who-claims-to-be-charles-secret-son-shares-last-queen-letter-before-she-died-c-8382605" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7News</a></em>, Dorante-Day said it was finally time for the world to see the contents of the letter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I think it’s time - it’s time for the world to read this,” the father-of-nine said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’ve kept the contents of the letter confidential until now, but with her passing I think it’s appropriate to share my last correspondence with her.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“When she passed away, I was disappointed that she had died without responding to my message. That was my first thing - just sad, because that window of opportunity has closed.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">He added that he is looking forward to taking up his case directly with Charles.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It makes no difference to me whether that mountain in front of me is male or female. It makes no difference to me how high that mountain is,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’ve still got to climb it to prove what I know to be true. So from that regard, nothing has changed.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Along with the letter, Dorante-Day also shared a message to the Queen from his wife, Dr Elvianna Dorante-Day, including a “special thank you” for existing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“You and I knew we came from warring backgrounds, but we both loved something in common, your grandson Simon Charles, your first-born grandchild,” her message read.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“In loving him as much as we do, we had to put our differences aside and pursue peace, not only for you and I but for the whole of humanity. </p>
<p dir="ltr">No-one understood the path we walked together on this planet, and our work isn’t over, as you and I know. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“Through your grandchild Simon Charles and his children your legacy lives on in them.”</p>
